My parents forced me to be in the french immersion class up until high school. In high school I took the one mandatory french credit and that was it. No more french torture.
Today I sometimes have to use it at work because we get french customers. If I don't recall a specific word I tend to pick it up by listening in on another conversation or by attempting to interact with a customer in french. My french coworker was impressed and customers mostly appreciate my attempt but throw the "you should get more practice" at me. Sure, maybe if you pay for the classes lady, calisse.

That being said, I live in a French province and I rarely use my French and it is super-rusty.
